He was named after Cawood Ledford, the famed Kentucky Wildcat radio announcer of 39 years, but, whenever I would hear a reference to Mr. Ledford after a certain time, I felt like my Cawood was the namesake=) I’ll speak for Cawood today and use the words that Adolph Rupp and Cawood Ledford both used for their goodbyes, “To those of you that went down the glory road with me, my eternal thanks.” Cawood, I love you.
